Pirates Past Noon (2010)
“The waves were huge. Salty spray stung Jack’s eyes. He felt seasick.
“Hold ’er steady!” shouted Cap’n Bones.
He pointed at the sea. “Or we’ll be meat for those evil brutes!”
Dark fins cut through the water. Sharks. One zoomed right by the boat. Jack could have reached out and touched it.
He shuddered.
Soon the rowboat pulled alongside the ship.
The air was filled with wild fiddle music and bagpipes playing. And Jack heard jeers, shouts, and ugly laughter.
“Hoist ’em aboard!” Cap’n Bones shouted... to his men.
Annie and Jack were hauled onto the deck.
The ship creaked and moaned. It rolled from side to side. Ropes flapped and snapped in the wild wind.
Everywhere they looked, Jack and Annie saw pirates.
Some were dancing. Some were drinking. Many were fighting. With swords. Or with their fists.
“Lock ’em in my cabin!” Cap’n Bones ordered.
A couple of pirates grabbed Jack and Annie. And threw them in the ship’s cabin. Then locked the door.
The air inside the cabin was damp and sour-smelling.MoreLess
